If was a few days ago that Kim Dotcom announced he was going to opt for a new domain for his new portal so that it could avoid being shut down once again. That’s why instead of opting for a .com or .org domain Kim chose the Gabonese .ga. Nevertheless, the US government isn’t happy with his plans and is already trying to threaten Kim and take measures once the website is launched.

In response, the Gabonese Communication Minister Blaise Louembe claimed that they have to protect IP rights and fight cybercrime, which means that Gabon can’t serve as a platform or screen for anything aimed at infringing copyrights or be used by unscrupulous people like Dotcom.

Blaise Louembe also revealed that the Me.ga domain was originally bought by an undisclosed French citizen, who then transferred it to Dotcom. In addition, an investigation ordered by the Minister found out that the portal was redirecting all traffic to another site, which is also hosted in France. This past Wednesday, the Me.ga domain was shut down. In response, Kim Dotcom said that there should be no worries, as he had an alternative domain.

In the meantime, the redirection in question is believed to have something to do with a hacker group known as Omega, apparently not very fond of Dotcom. In their interview, the hacking collective explained that they were pure in a diogenist way – the true pirates, while MegaUpload’s founder was only taking advantage of them all. Omega called Dotcom a “megalomaniac with lawyers to take advantage of us all – the nobodies, the artists he wants to profit from”. That’s why they consider Kim neither better nor worse than Universal. In fact, they called him a separate industry, only there to pollute.

Thus far, things are not good for Kim, because Ome.ga is now controlling the Me.ga domain. However, it is unclear what they are going to do with it. The hacking collective claimed they will entertain offers from Dotcom’s enemies in the millions of dollars for the new domain. They also promised to donate 10% of the proceeds to FOJEGA (Gabon Youth Forum) if Universal Music decides to buy the Me.ga domain name. We’ll see what plan Kim Dotcom has now, but the experts believe he won’t give up that easy. MegaUpload is not to be forgotten and buried after all.

Megaupload was just a name. I'm sure he could find another similar domain name or a completely new one. PublicEnemyNo1DotCom lol would be fitting as I bet that's how he feels with pressure now from self proclaimed true pirates!

Edward Teech was a true pirate,Kim is an entrepreneur and has done well at it so what if his content is from other sources as we all enjoy it free of charge,so called other pirates are just jealous of his money making skills and are free to take the same risks if they dare,hacking his efforts only damages the community at large and they need a good kick in the testicles for doing the Americans dirty work for them.

Thanks for the article Sam- let's hope this is the end of the thief kim dotcom.

Kim Docom made his money by hacking a bank and stealing money from mom & pop's accounts, he has been convicted of insider trading and embezzlement. He started megaupload so he could make money out of people trading files, he has done nothing to help users get there files back from the US government nor has he refunded the users for paying for a service that they never received. He has never said anything about free speech until he was facing jail time. He is no more that a common thief- it's no wonder the hacking group Omega are after him.

Never mind all the other buIIsh1t...the guy does want to change and shake things up and the American Government,MPAA and music fat cats DO NOT WANT THIS. From things Ive read his idea essentially cuts out the fat cat middle men in the music industry and rewards the artists in a fair way. So for them this spells disaster on a global scale...Its time for a change and give the guy a chance and lets see what he can really do.
